Merc Children's Theater
A Midsummer Night's Dream
adapted from the play by William Shakespeare
March 23 - April 1, 2012

Picture
_ This Children’s Theater adaptation of Shakespeare's classic comedy is full of mischief and mayhem, misunderstandings and magic potion mix-ups, as kings and queens, humble workers, fairies, parents and kids all chase their dreams.   In the woods outside Athens, the fairy king and queen are squabbling. Enter a pair of runaway lovers intent on eloping, a suitor in pursuit, and a group of workers rehearsing their humble play as a gift for the duke's wedding. The realms of humans and fairies collide as Puck works his mischief. A Midsummer Night's Dream is a marvelous play that explodes in a joyous celebration.
